just finished my 570x build with LL120s... SO sync it will be a new tool right? Any information when it will be out?

I guess the ripple effect from keyboard through mousepad to the LL120s is not possible yet?

Hope someone has some insight.

best regards

Unfortunately you can't synchronise the HID peripherals with the internal fans and LEDs yet but that is my understanding of the aim of SYNC it. From what I can gather we will also have full per LED control over the LEDs inside the case as we do with the LEDs outside the case. Corsair are being very tight lipped about progress and when we might see the software finished and ready to use. I for one can't wait!

So, i'm thinking about building a whole new PC, and already bought the Corsair K70 Lux, MM200, ST100 & the corsair Glaive. (Not the headset yet, cause got a good working one for now). I just started to use those, and already can't miss them. And the RGB just looks awesome.

Now when i watched to demo of Sync it, it just looked so amazing, which made me rebuild my setup in almost all Corsair stuff.

But looking @ Sync it, what about the Motherboard? Should i best take a MSI board since they work together on Sync it?
Cause my original way of thinking was to buy the ASUS Maximus IX Formula?

Man, i can't wait for Sync it to release and make this build perfect!
Also, would you guys recommend more LED strips to build on my desk and/or monitors?

And if yes, doesn't it make a cable come out of my case and upon my desk/monitors?
So that would mean my PC would be static on the desk, and if i wanna move the PC, (except if i unplug it) it's almost impossible?

obviously we are all waiting on release of 'sync-it' for confirmed details.. not much info out there really aside from the video.

Re strips outside the case... why not!.. I did lol... i did it by mounting second small psu under my desk for sata power and running the usb from the Node Pro to the Rear IO on my pc.. it worked out rather well :). currently got 16 strips but it will go up to 24 once funds allow...

Yes if you want to add the LED strips to your desk and/or monitor then you will need to have a cable coming out of your PC so it is all linked to the lighting node pro or the commander pro inside your case. With some clever wiring you can have the extension connector on the bottom of the PC in an easily accessible location so you can move your PC if you need to by simply un clipping the cable first.

So basicly atm, gathering intel from the vid, i would best buy an MSI Motherboard?

24 strips? I bet it is amazing, but on what did you use it? PC, Desk, and ... ?

Hmm sound really interessting, do you might have an idea (since i haven't seen an 570X case in real life yet, if the case has an opening @ the lower backside?

Yes like Zotty mentioned you can use a second PSU however I have quite a small setup so my PC is quite close to my monitor so I went the other way. I only have the one LNP inside my PC so I used one of the small holes on the bottom of the machine to pass the extension cables through. Most cases have such holes so it shouldn't be a problem if you have a smaller setup and have your LNP inside your case. I have an LED strip under the case which then connects to an extension (I had to make it longer but the same can be achieved by daisy chaining the extensions). Then just hook up your external LEDs and you are done.

Hey Corsair James, when the new software releases, will there be any changes to the way the node works with the LED strips. Obviously it has no problem with 6 strips daisy chained when you tell it they are fans so will there be some way we can have 6 strips on one channel instead of just 4? That would complete my life!

There will be changes, obviously. Can't confirm anything at this time though.

Yes! That would be good.

What I wondered was about the power. BUT ... the LED strip packaging doesn't tell us the current requirements.

BUT ... based on the current requirements for the LEDs on the LL and HD fans, we can estimate about 0.04A per LED ... so 0.4A per strip.

That's 1.6A for 4 strips, 3.2A for 8. If you do two strips of 6, you're looking at 4.8A, which is more current than is provided for over the SATA connection (4.5A) and leaves nothing for the Lighting Node Pro's processor. Five strips per gives you a total of 4.0 A even. So that's a possible winner.

Now ... if the configuration was "smart" enough to do on the fly current requirement calculations based on the devices attached and allow you to leverage that current how you wanted to, then you could have a 10 strip connection on one port and an LED fan hub (which takes no current from the NoPro) on the other port. Or ... 6 and 4 or 8 and 2. However you arrange it for a total of 10 strips max for each NoPro.
